Pat Patterson
The first man is Pat Patterson, and to his right is Sgt. Slaughter. These men met at the Madison Square Garden in New York City in 1981. They then engaged in what has since become called the Alley Fight. It was a no-holds-barred match that did not make for a pretty sight. Patterson told WWE.com, “I think it was instrumental in the molding and thinking of what we have in the matches like it today.” He made history as the first WWE international champion and the first gay major wrestler! What a guy. He bit the dust on December 2. At the time, he had been 79 years old. He is gone, but he will never be forgotten!

Joe Morgan
Up next, we have another key figure in the MLB. This Cincinnati Reds infielder did not just win back-to-back National League MVP awards, but he also won back-to-back World Series rings! Joe Morgan had a great run. His career went on from 1963 to 1984. In the past, he also played for San Francisco and Houston. Both teams are no longer around. After he retired, he joined the team of ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball. He kicked the bucket on October 11 at the age of 77.
